ANOTHER CHAPTER.

An interesting and rather racy suit, it
will be remembered, came up in the jus
tice court last summer in which Mr.
George Z. Morris and Miss Sarah Shank,
who had been living together in this city
for some time as man and wife, were ar
rested. The prosecuting witness had come
all the way from Michigan in order to
bring the suit against her erring husband
and runaway servant girl. The matter
was at the time settled by
Sarah returning to her home in
Michigan and George giving his promise
to do better in the future. The matter
was thus almost entirely forgotten until
yesterday morning when Detective McMa
han asked for a transcript of the case as
tried here, saying that it was needed at
Fort Smith. Arkansas, where Morris and
his Sarah were in custody of the law. In
stead of returning to Michigan as she had
promised, the servant girl had gone to Fort
Smith and was afterwards joined there by
Morris The much abused wife managed
to get track Of the couple and the suit in
question was the result.

FORTIETH BIRTHDAY.

Mr.. H. D. Heiserman arrived Sunday
from visit of some weeks to Salt Lake,
California, Mexico and Texas. Yesterday
was the anniversary of his fortieth birth
day and his corps of assistants at the reg
lister of deeds office presented him with a
group photo of themselves taken by
Rogers
The photo was accompanied by card,
which was nicely framed and reads as fol-
lows:
Presented to H. D. Heisermah, register
of deeds of Sedgwick county, by his en-
ployes on the anniversary of his fortieth
birthday. When you can 10 longer pay
the interest on the mortgage on life and it

WICHITA, KAN, Nov. p.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
l met on the street our old friend
Farmer Doohttle" and as usual he intro
duced something new. This time it was a
court house. Now. while approve Of this
enterprise, and will most heartily support
it, yet ! want TO understand fully just
what is intended before l sign the petition.
Is it your purpose to simply build a court
house, or does the petition mean court
house and jail in the basement? 1fso, why
not say so in your petition? We certainly
need a Jail more than court house but as
a matter of convenience and economy, they
should be built together While we all
agree that we should have a good court
house, many Of US believe that 100000 in
bonds, and the old county building and
lots, converted into cash, would be suffc-
lent to build and furnish in excellent style,
both court house and Jail. This amount of
money (s150,000), paid out in Wichita TO
our own people would benefit all. This
contract should be let to Sedgwick county
men, and the money kept at home if posi-
BILE. But insist that you should state
definitely just what you are going to do.

Washington is much excited owing 10
the new police regulation which went into
effect Thursday The most notable part Of
these regulations and that which has raised
the ire of the citizens, requires carriages
and hacks of every description to be pro-
vided with lanterns at night, and all bicycles
and other similar machines TO be supplied
with lanterns aud alarm bells. The new
order of things furnishes abundant amuse-
ment for the humorously inclined, and the
day before the regulations went into effect,
displeased wheelman rode past the Dis
trict offices, In full view of the Commss-
toner's, with large milk gong attached to
his machine, which he continually rung in
mournful tone. his face being distorted
by malicious grin. The Commissioners
enjoyed the joke and laughed heartily. But
the best things are seen at night on the
avenue were carriages aud wagons, slowly
roll along with jack lanterns, and even
candles attached. One enterprisng wag
secured locomotive headlight and mount
ing it in his wagon gayly sped his horse
over the smooth pavement, creating con-.
sternation among the few, and unlimited
amusement among the many. Those who
tide "wheels" are much displeased at the
restriction Of their liberties, and vent their
i'll feeling in the most outrageous manner.
Their c1ief instrument of torture are milk
gongs and COW bells.
Upon the whole The average Washington
ian is very philosophical in making the
most out of what is really serious
thing. II.

WASHINGTON n q Anoue

WASHINGTON, d. c., August /, 'S7.
Mr.. EDITOR: The delegations calling on
the President haYe given the City anattrac-
tive air this week. Many of them have
left us but others are here and from afar
they are still coming. The President is
literally surrounded by invitations from
Boards of Trade, Committees of Citizens,
Fairs, and other representative Bodies, to
pay them visit this fall The st. Louis
episode has had the effect of rousing the
people, and every important and mimpor-
tant town along the route of the proposed
Western trip have forwarded Committees
TO set forth their claims and wishes. The
President expresses himself as much pleased
with this hearty show of hospitality, and
is inclined to make his trip more extended.
1t is understood that the trip will include
the time between October LIST and 18th
when he will return to Washington and
start Immediately on his Southern trip to
Atlanta, Ga.
As time rolls on the idea that an extra
session of Congress will be called this fall,
loses its hold upon public opinion. That
such a session at thit time, will do good is
a mooted question. Many people think
that extra sessions have tendency to lead
members to investigate important subjects
seriously and carefully, while prominet
politicians on being asked their views ex-
press the opinion that extra sessions not
onlv fail IN aaoomplieh thair oh;not Il,
large measure, bnt are an additional ex-
pense TO the nation, of about S50OO0 per
month. One effect of extra sessions Is that
they shorten the regular session. and con-
sequently no more work is accomplished in
the long run.
The exceedingly warm weather of the
past week has turned the attention of
sweltering humanity towards our beautiful
parks, and right well are they appreciated
and enjoyed. The lovely stretches of green
lawn dotted here and there with eyergreens,
fascinate the eye, and lovers of outdoorexer-
else view the advantages for croquet grounds
and tennis courts which they afford, with
longing The doughty watchman stands
guard over the forbidden ground bur the
familiar legend keep off the grass is a
sufficient warning 10 all. Uncle sam has
always resisted efforts 10 turn the breathing
places 10 practical use, but the masses are
earnestly protesting against the prevailing
exciusiveness, and hope soon TO enliyen
the evenings wish sporrs which now can
only be enjoyed in the suburbs, on in private
grounds
